A microporous animal chew comprising a rawhide sheet having a thickness in the range of 0.1 millimeters to 3.0 millimeters and a plurality of micropores extending through said rawhide sheet at least partially filled with chitosan. The rawhide sheet provides a digestible yet chewable and durable animal chew.

Generally, this process relates to use of cannabis/Marijuana plant waste that would otherwise be disposed of by methods that create methane.

Presently most States require Producers to mix their cannabis plant waste with a biomass creating a nonhazardous solid waste that must be disposed of at landfills or composting facilities. However, most States also allow Beneficial Use Permits (WAC 173-350-200) to divert the nonhazardous waste to a process that has an environmentally positive affect.

I believe that my new method is the best suited to fulfill that environmental need and transform the cannabis waste compositions into a commercially useful product.

For cooking fuel sustainable harvest or wood industry waste hardwood is the preferred base material to mix with the cannabis plant waste. However, any other variety of suitable biomass or organic materials may also be used if readily available.

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are formed when meat is charred at a high temperature and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are created from meat fats dripping onto an open fire. Smoking at low temperatures over a long period of time means that HCAs are not a problem since charring does not occur. Also smoking food is a healthier option because PAHs are barely a worry, and the same chemicals add a pleasant smell to the food when cooked.

Furthermore, different embodiments of my process can impart different types of smoked flavors depending on the base biomass mixed with the cannabis plant waste. Thus, carbon neutral when burned, fuel pellets can provide a wide range of smoked flavors to food to satisfy a variety of personal taste preferences.

For animal feed cannabis plant waste can be processed with other agro-industrial by-products such as sugar cane husks. Mixed with biomass proteins, minerals, and nutrients (vitamins) to create healthy animal feed.

The pellet mill process uses pressure to generate heat to make the feedstuffs into a more digestible form by breaking down the starches. The process puts the feed in a concentrated form and minimizes waste during the eating.

Compared with unprocessed grains, animal feed pellets are uniform and easily digested especially for foals, weanlings, and older animals.

Sending the solid waste to landfill and composting facilities creates methane from anaerobic fermentation. My process prevents anaerobic fermentation.

The reduction of one ton of methane is equivalent to 25 tons of carbon dioxide. Therefore, for every ton of methane reduced, 25 commercial valuable Carbon Credits can be issued.

The present disclosure describes products formulated to inhibit respiratory conditions and symptoms in animals, along with associated methods of providing such products to the animals. Feeding methods involve providing animals with a feed product that includes a direct-fed microbial composition, at least one phytogenic compound, and/or at least one vitamin. The direct-fed microbial composition includes one or more strains of Bacillus. The animals can include swine or cattle at risk of developing, or already afflicted with, a respiratory condition. Inhibition of respiratory stress can reduce mortality rates and medication administration relative to animals fed the same diet but lacking the feed product.

The present application provides compositions, methods, and systems for reducing allergic response to Fel D1. Such compositions, methods, and systems generally include a supplement comprising an anti-Fel D1 molecule and an animal digest.

The present invention relates to a method for producing and preserving a semimoist animal feed, it being distinguished by the fact that it comprises the steps of drying and preservation by thermal treatment and pressure treatment of the nonperishable semimoist animal feed packaged in a packaging unit. In a further aspect, the present invention is directed to a thus obtainable semimoist animal feed packaged in a substantially gas-tight packaging unit having improved storage properties, especially storage stability. Lastly, sales units comprising multiple packaging units, optionally detachable from one another, containing the semimoist animal feed are provided.

A system for recovering fat, oil and grease (FOG) from wastewater has multiple annular flotation zones in a concentric configuration surrounding a central column to create progressively increasing surface areas for FOG and solid particles flotation. Each flotation zone may be equipped with an independent pressurized micro air and/or ozone bubbles distribution system. The FOG is recovered in the first flotation zone without chemical additions. Coagulant and flocculant may be added in the second flotation zone to maximize removals of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and colloidal particulates and produce clear effluent. Magnesium chloride is added in the third flotation zone to remove phosphorus and to form struvite particulates that can be used as fertilizer. Since both organic loading and solid loading in the treated effluent are significantly reduced, poultry processing plants can more easily meet wastewater treatment plant discharge limits and avoid surcharges.

A method of forming a pet chew, comprising supplying Miscanthus grass; supplying at least one polymer; combining the Miscanthus grass and the at least one polymer to form a polymeric composition containing the Miscanthus grass; and forming the pet chew of the polymeric composition containing the Miscanthus grass. A pet chew containing Miscanthus grass is also disclosed.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods of treating animal proteins and pet food products including the same. Methods include treating animal proteins with one or more base compounds to increase the pH thereof to provide for increased preservation and the reduction of spoilage of the animal protein.
